A gift from postmodernism
Harry Potter author, J.K. Rowling, recently announced that Albus Dumbledore is gay. Fortunately, aspects of postmodernism makes clear that Rowling's control of the story is not totally hers anymore. She has written a text and now may no longer control it. I have the same text she does and see no reason to believe, after reading the text, that Albus Dumbledore is gay.

haha, that's funny :)
So, what does Gay mean when we are dealing with a character who is decidedly a-sexual in the narrative? Methinks Seinfeld provides a clue: "Single and neat."
Seems to me that the only adult character for whom sexual orientation is an issue at all is Snape, who loves, unrequited, Harry's mother.

You know denial is the first sign that you have a problem.

I have no idea how to understand your observation in the light of AP's post. It seems about as relevant as "tastes like chicken."
